Package: dpkg-dev I am aware that this may well be an NFS bug, but I'd appreciate it if someone who understood dpkg internals helped me track it down.
If I try to use dpkg-source -x on an NFS mounted volume, I get: [EMAIL PROTECTED] dpkg-source -x fnlib_0.4-0.1.dsc 9:06AM dpkg-source: extracting fnlib in fnlib-0.4 patch: **** can't create file `Fnlib/Makefile.am.orig.dpkg-orig' : Stale NFS file handle dpkg-source: failure: patch gave error exit status 2 I do all my package building on a file server (not enough local disk space). I don't have any problems with any other operation - dpkg-source -b, dpkg-buildpackage and friends all work fine. But I have to expand source packages by hand..
